Jones was drafted sixth overall in the first round of the WNBA draft in 2016 as GW’s first-ever first-round selection after a historic career in the Buff and Blue. She ranks third all-time at George Washington in career rebounds, fourth in scoring average (15.4), fifth in blocked shots and 23^rd in points in just 76 games at GW from 2013-16 after transferring from Clemson. She is one of only three players ever in the storied tradition of women’s basketball at GW with 1,000+ points, 800+ rebounds and 100+ blocks in a career. After leading the nation as a senior in rebounding and finishing 13^th in the NCAA with 18 double-doubles, Jones earned her second career WBCA All-American nod as well as her second-straight Associated Press All-American recognition. She capped her junior season as the A-10’s Player and Defensive Player of the Year as just the fourth player in conference history to earn both accolades in the same season.
